The Cycle of Life

The Cycle of LifeBy Billie MarrsPaint, mesh fabric, gold leaf, old jewelry, craft wire, fish hook, found objects, upholstery tacks, silver tape, hand-made paper mosaic tiles, ribbon, fishing swivels, curtain chain, shrink plastic, liquid gold leaf all went onto the wooden fish to make her come to life.Said the momma fishy to the nest of eggsMy cycle of life is at an endYou must remember where you were bornBreathe deeply of this fresh water streamThen navigate carefully to the deep blue seaSwim to the secret places of our ancestorsIn time you too will return to complete the cycleFive baby fishes, Jacks and JenniesLeaped and jumped playing hide and seekDown the streams and riversSinging the life song that their momma once sungSwim fast, play hard, life is short, the cycle repeats

About Me

Married to Larry and we have five kids, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, two grandsons, one granddaughter, and a neighborhood cat. I focus on creating art and/or teaching mixed media, paintings, shabby chic decor, paper-making, watercolors, and mosaics.
My art has sold in several states, the internet, and in my own shop.
